While transactions are limited owing to the small' visible supplv in tlin hands of either growers or dealers here, the market for hops is firm and there are reports that one lot was wanted by a dealer ut 20c but the grower would not accept. - There Is a firmer tone In 1909a and hetween dealers nulte a few sales have been made recently. Julius Plncus sold 17 bales to the Seaver Hop company at 15 cents, this being the high mark for transactions In that growth recently. Quite a few contracts for the 1911 crop are reported sround 15 cents a pound. Spring wprk has ben started In me vara a and. tnerelore many growers are fn need of fund That aiwtni tn h. the reason for the spurt in contract writing during the past few davs. New York and foreign hop markets are reported very firm but as here busi ness is nominal because of the small visible supply of 11 0s.

Moat of the orders aire for fully double I tha amount used last season, and are subject to formal opening figures. ' If present Signs do not mislead, the opening of the 1911 packing season along the, Columbia river will 'show a great amount of fish available for, the tins. i There is an unususlly "Surly run of chinooks now showing' in the Columbls and this Is forcing heavier receipts in inerrcsh. rlsh markets . here. The cblnooks now oominip forward are of unusually . large etze and quality and fully up to the best thst has ever come from the river. ' Columbia river canners report that many Inquiries are being received from eastern as well as coast connections for larger supplies of. fish for the coming season than has ever before been or- dered. One cannery the Pillar Rock- has already received inquiry lor Wily twice as many caaea aa were canned during 1910 snd the regular season has not yet started. Alonr with tfce orders for chinooks is coming a big bunch of Inquiries regard ing the probable deliveries of eteelhesds. It has only been a few seasons that steelheads were put up by canners be cause all the fish of this variety was generally gpbbled up by cold storage op erators who shipped' the fish in ice to England, Germany and other parts of Europe.

Wheat trade is stag nant and while quotations are nominally unchanged, the tendency among buyers Is to lower their bids, while producers are not Inclined to sell unless given an advance. .
